FINLAND



This is a view of Rauma, Finland.  The person this card is from said that the temperature typically gets down to about -27 oC.  Because it's near the sea, it's always windy and cold.  Rauma is known of its high quality lace (since the 18th century), and of the old wooden architecture of its centre (Old Rauma, Vanha Rauma), which is a Unesco world heritage site.

Thanks simppa for the great card (FI-977297).
